Services
Chiropractic Care
Our McTimoney chiropractic technique uses precise, light-force adjustments to correct nerve interference and restore optimal body function. This non-invasive treatment addresses musculoskeletal conditions, postural imbalances, and nerve-related issues through manual spinal manipulation. Patients benefit from improved mobility, pain relief and enhanced nervous system communication, supporting the body's natural healing processes.
Sports Massage Therapy
Specialised sports and remedial massage addresses muscular tension, injuries and performance limitations. Our therapists employ deep tissue techniques, myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy to treat sports-related injuries, repetitive strain and postural dysfunctions. This promotes faster recovery, prevents future injuries and enhances athletic performance through improved circulation and flexibility.
Podiatry Services
Comprehensive foot health care includes chiropody, nail care and biomechanical assessments. Our podiatrists provide custom treatment plans for foot conditions, gait abnormalities and sports-related foot injuries. Services range from routine nail care to advanced orthotic prescription, addressing both cosmetic and functional foot health requirements with specialist equipment and techniques.
Epley Manoeuvre
Specialised treatment for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) involves the Epley Manoeuvre to reposition inner ear crystals causing dizziness. This clinically proven procedure offers rapid relief from vertigo symptoms through a series of guided head movements performed by trained chiropractors, restoring balance and spatial orientation.
Animal Chiropractic
Veterinary chiropractic services for small animals address musculoskeletal issues affecting mobility and comfort. Qualified practitioners use adapted McTimoney techniques to treat posture problems, sports injuries and age-related conditions in pets. This requires prior veterinary approval and focuses on improving mobility, reducing pain and enhancing quality of life for companion animals.
